    Porsche used 'T' to designate significant changes to the 356 during the model run. The 356C was produced in T5 and T6 form, and I believe the obvious difference was the dual grille on the T6. The T6 was the end of the line, and the 901 (called the 911 in the market) appeared in 1965.

    No to nitpick, but the C was only T6; the B was both T5 and T6 (other than the twin grill, the major visual cue was the shape of the hood); the A was T2 from '57 to '59; there really wasn't a designated T1, but it is commonly referred to as early As ('55 - '56) and pre-As.

    This of course not to be confused with the 'T' designation of the 911 T which did stand for 'Touring' and was the entry level, carbureted model of the 911 (Peugeot had claims to the '901' nameplate) from '66 to '73.

    Many years ago Richard Corson, Bill Neal and myself used to do most all of the pen and ink illustrations for Road & Track and Motor Trend while Ken Dallison did most of the illustrations for Car & Driver. I was just going through a few boxes and found this 356 driven by Alan Johnson at Riverside Raceway I did about 1976. There are more Porsches and other cars as well but I'll post those later. Anyway this brought back a lot of memories and fun. I think we got paid $75-$150 per spot then. Thought you guys might like to see a blast from the past.

    Thx for the clarification.

    The 911T received fuel injection in the United States in 1973 (or 1973 1/2?) It was the one time in the history of sports cars that we Yanks got the better version.

    I think I actually remember that illustration.

    So, what was HNMIII really like? - I hung on every word when I wasn't dreaming through the MG Mitten ads.

    It's been awhile since we've seen our 356's..........there's got to be a few more Porsche pilots out there that remember the days when we all flicked our lights or waved at each other when we saw another Porsche. Although I've owned and raced many Porsche's in the past one of my favorite little cruisers is my 356B T-5, 0-60 in about a week but what a fun way to get there.

    Rennsport 2 at the Daytona Speedway. The Gmund Coupe is from the Collier collection. The 356 prototype is from the Porsche museum. Porsche heaven!

    The 911T was changed to mechanical fuel injection in 1972 (the 911E and 911S already had it). Porsche changed from a mechanical fuel injection on the 911T to Bosch K-Jetronic (CIS) in January of 1973 (a 1973 1/2).
